What do you have crunching? Pie isn't exactly easy to get. I have both systems in my system specs crunching 24/7(except for the occasional 2-3 hour gaming session acouple times a week on the 2600k system) and the best I've gotten is 12th. To get pie, you basically need atleast three I7 systems crunching 24/7, and even then, you probably wouldn't get pie consistantly.

Being consistent is much more important than getting pie. The work we do thru crunching is important and every work unit that is completed assists researchers in finding solutions to cure disease, etc.

Stick with it and contribute within your means and you will see how far you can go.

I may not always be able to contribute like I do now but I will continue crunching regardless of how many points I can generate in a day.

Exactly, every little bit helps. Who knows, maybe it will be your system that actually does the WU that leads to a cure for cancer.

It usually takes a new BOINC install about 4 days to ramp up to full capacity (the point at which WUs are being validated as fast as they're submitted). So you should start doing pretty well soon
I'd say you should get 3.5-4.5k PPD easy, maybe a tad more

Agreed. A pair of i7 systems and a pair of Core 2 Duos was enough to bounce me in and out of daily pie. It's going to take the third i7 to get daily pie. This just means that we have a competitive team here

That it is. Even a Core 2 Duo doing just 1k PPD will still do 350k+ points over the course of the year...which is equal to two months of crunching on even an OCed i7. Every bit very much matters (although running ancient systems like a Pentium 4 probably isn't worth the electricity usage).

My list of crunchers is in my sig. If one goes down it will probably knock me out of the pis mode. Thats how close competition is here. But it also make us want to do more which really helps the cause which is the main focus. Every little bit helps.

Hell even right now today I am on the outside of pie looking in (14th place).

Man I know what your saying Mad! One day in, the next day out.......It is kind of frustrating to be honest. Wish I could afford another 8 thread system to keep in the "pie!"
